Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is an immunologically mediated disease characterized by a hypersensitivity reaction to fungal colonization by Aspergillus. Hydropneumothoraces and bronchopleural fistulae are rare occurrences in patients with ABPA. However, the diagnosis of ABPA is important to consider, as it is easily treatable with specific therapy. We report an unusual case of a patient with ABPA who presented to us with hydropneumothorax with bronchopleural fistula.
变应性支气管肺曲霉菌病(ABPA)是一种免疫介导的疾病,其特征为对曲霉菌真菌定植产生超敏反应。气胸和支气管胸膜瘘在ABPA患者中较为罕见。然而,ABPA的诊断很重要,因为采用特定疗法很容易治疗。我们报告了一例不寻常的ABPA患者,该患者因气胸合并支气管胸膜瘘前来就诊。
